★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The equipment was decent, but I believe much can be improved in instruction to ensure guests are well-acquainted with the activity. Simple questions of have you done this before and any heads up on paddling etc. Would have been helpful. Also if doing couples/ groups, informing on the difference among the role of being in front vs. middle vs. in the back would have been helpful to help guests make an informed choice on who should be where. Just telling someone to be in front to facilitate weight distribution during launching is not helpful given safety risks of being in the middle of the lake after, this information becomes an important part to not be overlooked.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great activity. Make sure you know how to pedal. The river part is easy but getting there on the lake is not. And get kayaks... Canoes are too hard to steer.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Been here twice now and have always had a pleasant experience with the staff. Very friendly and informative team. No bookings needed as they always seem to have canoes available. From memory, we paid about $100 for a 2-person canoe for 2 hours.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Enjoyed a Sunday afternoon canoe trip from Alta Lake to the end of the River of Golden Dreams. Booked the trip in Whistler Village from an Activity Centre on our way to breakfast. Once we arrived we filled out the paperwork and paid. We were given a short orientation and we were on our way. Brought along some snacks and some adult beverages for the trip. Enjoyed being on a self guided tour and going at our own pace. Once we got to the river part of the trip we encountered various paddle boarders, kayakers and other canoes. Only one area requires a 50 foot portage and we were back in the canoe. Was a bit of a tight fit on the smaller stream until we reached the main river. A bit more of a current on the main river to start but water was not to high and easy to navigate. Stopped off at a couple sandbars bars and took our time down the river. Main river is very cold being glacier feed. Beautiful scenery throughout the whole trip down. At the end they take back the boats and drive you back to the start. Very happy we brought food and drink along and made it a memorable experience. Enjoy!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great customer service. We reserved the canoes from their website easily and had great time on the lake. The pricing are reasonable. The Alta lake is not too big and one hour is enough for us to go to the other side and come back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Always nice to kayak the river and get picked up at the end. Water levels are low so had tendon a portage, but the scenery was worth the effort. Lots of beaver dams along the way.
